WIFONE is wireless phone for home or office. This phone has been designed to operate on the IS-2000 Air Protocol over the 800MHz band. And the phone has the advanced user interface similar to mobile phone. It has greatly enchanced voice clarity and provides various advanced features.

There are 2 cable connections based on its type, Serial cable and USB cable. I suggest to use USB cable, much faster.

When you connect the phone using USB cable in your computer and you type ‘lsusb’, it will be recognized as LG Electronics Cellphone. Although it’s only packaged with Windows driver, it works smoothly with Ubuntu Gutsy.

It will cost you Rp 6000 per hour (now, may be less in the future) or at about 0.6 cent US$, with 145kbps speed). In Indonesia, it’s provided by Bakrie Telecom.
